Trial by Fire (Part 1)

As Heavenly Flames, the Mysterious Yellow Flame was originally an existence standing at the top of the world. However, when faced with that Five-Colored Qi Vortex, the Mysterious Yellow Flame felt that it was such an insignificant existence.

If one were to compare oneself to a human in the face of these Five-Colored Qi Vortex, then these Five-Colored Qi Vortex would be like five extremely tall giants. If they were to move even slightly, Mysterious Yellow Flame felt that he was in danger of being pulverized.

The thought of displaying his power before the giant made Mysterious Yellow Flame even more frightened. So, after arriving at his dantian, seeing the five-colored torrent disappear into the vortex, Mysterious Yellow Flame, in an attempt to make amends, also gathered his energy towards the vortex.

Faced with the energy transmitted by the Mysterious Yellow Flame, the five-colored vortex absorbed it without hesitation, and then refined it according to the circulation route of the Cultivation Method.

Half an hour later, after realizing that his cultivation had reached the Six-Star Dou King, Lin Ming's joy became even more apparent.

Raising Lin Ming's cultivation from the Five Stars of Dou Wang to the Six-Star Dou King was already the limit that Mysterious Yellow Flame could achieve without damaging his origin. Furthermore, even if Mysterious Yellow Flame could further enhance Lin Ming's cultivation, Lin Ming did not intend to continue to do so.

Lin Ming had only advanced from Three-Star Dou King to Five-Star Dou King a little over half a month ago. Although he had advanced from the peak of the Three-Star Dou King level, he had only actually increased his cultivation by a little over one star. But Lin Ming dared not increase his cultivation too much at once. Otherwise, it would cause his Dou Qi to become unstable, which would take Lin Ming even more time to deal with.

"Let me test the power of this Heavenly Flames!" With that thought, Lin Ming withdrew his mind from his inner vision, and his tightly closed eyes snapped open in a flash of yellow light.

"Laugh!"

Opening his eyes, Lin Ming stretched out his palm, and with a loud popping sound, a ball of Turbid Yellow Flame immediately rose from his palm.

"Su Su, you killed your relatives and slaughtered your clan because of the Mysterious Yellow Flame. Now that you have died under the Mysterious Yellow Flame, you should have no regrets." Lin Ming came to Su Su's side and looked at Su Su lying on the ground, and said to him indifferently.

Although he had told Su Xue that he would hand Su Su over to her after abolishing her cultivation, now that Su Su knew about his Five Attributes, Lin Ming could no longer keep Su Su around.

Even if this would break a promise, what does a promise matter when it comes to the life and death of oneself and one's family?

When Lin Ming abolished his cultivation, Su Su knew he was doomed. Now, having witnessed the existence of people with the Five Attributes and avoided being tortured to death, Su Su felt a sense of relief despite his resentment when he saw the Mysterious Yellow Flame fall.

After the Mysterious Yellow Flame landed, in just one breath, the place where Su Su had been lying was completely devoid of any trace of human presence, except for a little bit of white ash.

"As expected of Heavenly Flames! Even the Mysterious Yellow Flame, which ranks last on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, is far more powerful than the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire." Looking at the Turbid Yellow Flame that had burned Su Su ashes in such a short time, Lin Ming immediately exclaimed.

After sighing, Lin Ming waved his hand, and the Mysterious Yellow Flame returned to Lin Ming hand.

"It's time to take the final step!" Lin Ming said, looking at the flames rising from his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, the rising Mysterious Yellow Flame vanished. Then, his Storage Ring flashed, and a box appeared in Lin Ming's hand.

Upon opening the box, a dusty, fingernail-sized object was revealed inside.

"After all these years, it's finally time for you to come in handy," Lin Ming said, looking at the contents of the box.

Thinking back to how he originally bought the Spirit Absorption to store the Azure Green Lotus Core Flame, but due to various reasons, he missed out on it, and now he unexpectedly obtained the Mysterious Yellow Flame, Lin Ming couldn't help but sigh at the unpredictability of life.

Picking up the Spirit Absorption, Lin Ming sat down cross-legged again. Then, guided by his Soul Power, the Spirit Absorption transformed into a stream of light and entered Lin Ming's body.

After the Spirit Absorption entered his body, before Lin Ming could even focus his mind, the Mysterious Yellow Flame, sensing the Spirit Absorption's arrival and knowing that it could hide from the giant Five-Colored Qi Vortex, immediately transformed into a stream of light and entered the Spirit Absorption.

As for Mysterious Yellow Flame, with these Five-Colored Qi Vortex present, he couldn't resist them even if he wanted to, and he would have to live in constant fear, afraid that he would be crushed to pieces by these Five-Colored Qi Vortex if he wasn't careful. It would be better to enter this small dark room. That way, at least he wouldn't have to face these Five-Colored Qi Vortex.

Mysterious Yellow Flame Lin Ming hadn't expected Xuanhuangyan's actions. When he focused his mind on his dantian again, he only saw the Spirit Absorption within, but not Mysterious Yellow Flame. Lin Ming was immediately filled with doubt and confusion.

After all, he had already refined the Mysterious Yellow Flame, and it was impossible for him to escape in less than a breath!

"Could it be?!" A thought instantly popped into Lin Ming's mind.

Since the Mysterious Yellow Flame couldn't escape, and he couldn't find its presence within his body, the only place it could be hiding was the Spirit Absorption he had just taken in.

"Out!" To verify his conjecture, Lin Ming spoke along with his thoughts. As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, the figure of Mysterious Yellow Flame indeed floated out from the Spirit Absorption.

Looking at the Mysterious Yellow Flame emerging from the Spirit Absorption, Lin Ming revealed a wry smile. After all, both the original novel and the historical records he had read described the step of storing the Heavenly Flames in its storage container after refining it as even more difficult than the refining process itself.

After all, once it is stored in a container, the Heavenly Flames has no ability to resist. Unless the person who refines it breaks the relationship with the Heavenly Flames, the Heavenly Flames will be controlled by that person for life.

Even a mindless Heavenly Flames would resist such a loss of freedom based solely on instinct. Therefore, it remains to be seen how much effort Lin Ming will have to expend to collect the Mysterious Yellow Flame into his Spirit Absorption.

But before he could even react to what was happening, the Mysterious Yellow Flame had already entered the Spirit Absorption Realm without him exerting any effort whatsoever. This forced Lin Ming, who had been preparing for a fierce battle, to abandon his fighting spirit.

After all, Mysterious Yellow Flame had already obediently gone into the Spirit Absorption) chamber. Lin Ming didn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder and didn't insist on making Mysterious Yellow Flame come out and fight him before he put it into the Spirit Absorption.

Now that the Mysterious Yellow Flame had been completely subdued, Lin Ming withdrew his mind from his body.

Although the initial abnormality in the Dou Qi Vortex during the refining of the Heavenly Flames startled Lin Ming managed to complete the process without any effort whatsoever. Furthermore, Lin Ming even improved his cultivation level by one star. If the other people who had subdued Heavenly Flames knew about this, Lin Ming would probably be driven to despair by their envious gazes.
